Assignment task: Law in American Society
1. Should the American Bar Association be more proactive in sanctioning law schools that admit students with qualifications that call into question whether those students will successfully finish law school and pass the bar exam?
2. Is it appropriate for the Attorney General to intervene in prosecutorial decisions being made by prosecutors in the Department of Justice, as William Barr did with respect to the criminal case of Donald Trump ally Roger Stone? Do you find Barr's argument that all federal prosecutorial discretion ultimately resides with the Attorney General at all convincing?
3. Is it concerning that elite lawyers and well-heeled litigants are generally expected to be more successful in the judicial process?
